I brought this up in the Senate Hall, and got the go ahead to bring it here. The info about what I'm proposing is all here, but in a nutshell, they're one-off awards that are given to a single user in relation to a certain source that they have added heaps of info from.

  3. I think this is a good idea, though I'm a jack of all trades as well. Atarumaster88 Jedi Order (Audience Chamber) 21:35, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

  1. Good idea. I doubt I would be anything though.---Vladius Magnum(Clan Magnum) 14:16, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
  2. Sounds like a good idea to me. KEJ 21:32, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Is there a reason this needs to be official, rather than an unofficial sort of thing? jSarek 06:25, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Just one question, Fourdot. What would your Mr. name be? -- Riffsyphon1024 06:41, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
    • I don't even know if I would have one. I'm a jack of all trades (no pun intended), but a master of none. jSarek: I wanted to propose this here, because in terms of structure, I wanted to have a page set up for it, kinda like the RFA or WOTM pages. .... 21:09, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Are these awards going to be for specific topics/article or just for sources? We could have awards for featured/good articles. For example the Squib article (see below). -- Volemlock 11:36, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Yoda cartoon This user has been awarded the title of Master Yoda

  • Just sources. At least at first. .... 21:55, 30 November 2006 (UTC)




The award itself

In terms of the actual award, I thought that there could be three different formats, depending on the recipient's preference. Below are the three basic types (I'm going to use the Holiday Special here as an example)

Of course, anyone could create a really neat looking image based on the source's poster or cover art...I'm not too good at that kind of stuff. .... 01:12, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Say, could anyone Photoshop up one of these awards? .... 06:14, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
    • If you're a bit more specific, I might be able to try. —Xwing328(Talk) 16:59, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
      • OK, thanks. What I'm looking for is basically a Holiday Special themed emblem...possibly circular. Maybe like a logo or a coat of arms. .... 00:34, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
